Price structure for painting doors
Choices that affect the price of door painting
How high the price will be for getting your doors painted depends on the following choices:
Choice 1: Painter
A painter charges between £30 and £35 per m2 including paint, materials and VAT for painting doors. If your doors have a separate motif or feature a window, making it more difficult to paint the door, the painter may opt for an hourly price. Per hour, a painter costs £35 to £40. This also often applies when painting doorposts.
Choice 2: Paint
If you have a special colour of paint in mind and you want to make sure you get the right colour then you can buy paint yourself. If you’re going for a normal solid colour, it’s better to agree with the painter if he takes the paint with him as you’ll be cheaper. Below you can see common prices for various types of paint and the number of square metres painted. For outside doors, you can paint less m2 with 1 litre of paint, so you will need more paint for 1 outside door than for 1 inside door.
Paint type | Price per litre incl. vat | Number of m2 per litre | Exceptions |
---|---|---|---|
Ground paint / primer / primer | £ 20 – £ 70 | 8 – 12 | Undercoat |
Stain and varnish | £ 25 – £ 60 | 10 – 16 | Protection coat |
Covering paint | £ 30 – £ 80 | 3 – 16 * | Interior and exterior paint |
* The number of m2 varies because you can paint less m2 with exterior paint than with interior paint.
Chalkboard paint creates a playful effect on a door. Chalkboard paint can also be very practical in the home. The price of special paint is as follows:
Special paint | Price per litre incl. vat |
---|---|
Magnet paint | £35 – £50 |
Metallic or glitter paint | £20 – £35 |
School or chalkboard paint | £35 – £60 |
Choice 3: Combine painting work
By combining painting work, you are cheaper overall. Because you give the painter a lot of work at once, you get a discount on the painting work. Below are average prices for the most frequently painted surfaces in the house.
Surface | Average price incl. labour, paint, material costs and VAT | Depending |
---|---|---|
Staircase painting | £300 – £700 | From just 1x whitening to sanding, cleaning and painting |
Dormer window painting | £ 400 – £ 930 | From just side panel and side beam to whole dormer including frames and windows |
Frame painting | £ 470 – £ 1.800 | From 7 m2 excl. paint to all exterior window frames of one house |
Paint the ceiling | £ 220 – £ 1,500 | From 30 m2 to 45 m2 incl. entire kitchen (kitchen cabinets) |
